Defense
Defense is very important in a team. The defenseis what stops the offense. They also have eleven people a team. Includes four linemen, three linebackers, two safeties, and two corners. A blitz is when they try to tackle the man with the ball instead of covering a pass. Linebackers either blitz or cover a pass. Corners and safeties try to catch the ball from the other team. The linemen try to stop the play or tackle the quarterback in the backfield.
Acceleration
Acceleration and speed are just as important for defensive players, who try to intercept the ball or tackle the offensive players often cover a particular opponent, so they must be able to match all the movements their opponents make , including fast sprints down field. If a defensive player cannot accelerate fast enough to keep up with opponents, chances are they will score a touchdown. Defensive linemen who can accelerate quickly can beat opposing blockers off the ball and get the running-back or the quarterback.
